Hi all,

Anyone got any notification from that socalled Yahoo! Inc lottery before?

I was notified that i had won $800,000,00 last week,Such a beautiful scam!And i do know that there is no lottery from Yahoo! Inc,But my question is why didn't Yahoo take some material and strong and effective measures against those spam?

Hi Edwin,

Spammers use very sophisticated technology -- they often are able to disguise themselves and appear as established companies. Have you heard of 'phishing'? For example, you might get an email that looks as if eBay were the sender. Companies like AOL, Yahoo and banks have been fighting these spammers for years but it's like playing cat and mouse. Take a look at this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phishing

See what I mean?
Regards,
Torsten
